771217 paris lisboa

saturday 17 december 1977

from PARIS to LISBOA by train

1020. in brilliant sunshine down through the hoar frosts of France

1140. POITIERS. houses built into tall striated black cliffs

1220. yesterday in Bruxelles I noticed a thermometer showing 10˚ Celsius

1415. autumn seems to have lingered in the south. light brown leaves still strew the base of trees. here and there great clusters of orange brown leaves on otherwise grey assemblage of branches. but a closer look saw more and more bare branches. bare trees. silver birches. ready for winter. sleeping through a southern winter of clear pale sunshine.
